The title of Dave Steen & Jailhouse Tattoo’s new CD came easily. “Every town is a town full of secrets”, says Steen. “You could have a wide spot in the road with only 4 residents, and each one of them has secrets they’re hoping the other three don’t know and never find out. And anyway,” he adds with a wink, “it’s more fun to sing about people that have made some foolish choices.”
In a career spanning several decades, Steen has written songs for Solomon Burke, Junior Wells, Son Seals, Eric Burdon, Maria Muldaur, James Cotton, Terry Evans, Jo-El Sonnier, and The Cate Brothers, as well as modern blues torch bearers Coco Montoya, Michael Burks, Sherman Robertson, James Armstrong, Larry McCray, D.A. Foster and others. Over a dozen songs co-written with Montoya have appeared on that artist’s albums, and Steen played guitar on Coco’s 2000 Alligator Records release, “Suspicion”.
When it was time to record his own project, the Lincoln, Nebraska-based artist turned to some of the region’s most accomplished players to help him lay down this collection of all-original songs. But when the album was completed, Steen still had no idea what to call the band. In the end, he borrowed a phrase from one of the CD’s songs, and credited the project to “Dave Steen & Jailhouse Tattoo”. Steen explains: “It sounded rough & ready, and that definitely describes both the guys and the feeling on the record as a whole.”
